Chapter 40 Gun [There is a gun on his right waist. 】
Shen Qingye narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean... Wang Qinghai hates Wang Qinghua?"
Zheng Ying paused, waved his hand and said, "Hey, what do you mean?"
"They are cousins. On the surface, they seem to be very affectionate, but in fact, everyone knows that Wang Qinghai dislikes Wang Qinghua."
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other and said, "What is it about you that you don't like it? Can you tell me more about it?"
Zheng Ying thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing I can't say."
"Wang Qinghai and Wang Qinghua are cousins within the third generation of kinship. They are about the same age and grew up together.
"But compared to Wang Qinghua who is heartless all day long, Wang Qinghai is a little more narrow-minded. He wants to compete with others in everything. From competing in study when they were young to marrying a wife and having a son when they grew up, the two have had their own wins and losses over the past few decades, but it is still relatively stable.
“It was only when their sons got married and had children that the gap gradually became apparent.
"Wang Qinghai's grandson Zhihuai was born first, and Wang Qinghua's Zhiyong was born two days later. Zhihuai was a good-looking child, fair and tender, and very smart. When he was just a few months old, he would giggle at you when you talked to him. His eyes were black and bright, and he was very smart. Zhiyong, on the other hand, was a little bit behind. Of course, he couldn't be said to be stupid, he just looked dull and silly, not that smart.
"During that period, even if Wang Qinghai didn't show it on his face, everyone could see how proud he was in his heart. He was probably thinking that this time, he had defeated Wang Qinghua. The people in the village also thought that Zhihuai would definitely be stronger than Zhiyong when he grew up.
"But what if it's said that children change every day? The two children grew up slowly, and when they were over a year old, the situation was reversed."
Shen Qingye was stunned: "The other way around?"
Zheng Ying nodded helplessly and sighed, "Zhi Huai was very smart and good-looking before, but when his facial features gradually developed, everyone found that he was just so-so, and seemed to be no different from ordinary children. As for Zhi Yong, not only is his face getting more and more beautiful, but he also started talking early. When he was just over one year old, he called dad, mom, grandpa and grandma all day long. His speech was clear and crisp, and he smiled at everyone he met. Everyone who saw him liked him.
"Watching the gap between the two children grow wider and wider, Wang Qinghai was also angry. Especially when the children grew up a little bit, Zhiyong could remember any word after being taught twice, and he memorized ten numbers very early, and he could even recite a few ancient poems fluently. But what about Zhihuai? Wang Qinghai taught him day and night, but he just couldn't remember it. People around him often heard him scolding the child for being stupid."
Shen Qingye's expression paused slightly, and he also remembered Wang Qinghai's behavior when he just came here.
Asking a five-year-old to do his homework, telling him he is stupid and cannot compare to others, and not allowing him to go out to play...
"In fact, although Zhihuai was not as smart as Zhiyong before, he was still quite smart. But now...ah." Zheng Ying shook her head: "Wang Qinghai pushed the child too hard. The good child is now as timid as a rock. He dares not look up when he sees people, let alone speak loudly."
Shen Qingye could fully imagine how strict Wang Qinghai would be in educating his children, and couldn't help asking, "What about the child's parents? Don't they care?"
"Why don't you care?" Zheng Ying said helplessly: "Even if he wants to care, he has to have the courage to do so, right?"
"Wang Shixin himself was brought up in this way by his father. He was said to be good at studying, but that was all he was good at! He was brought up to be very soft-tempered, and he never dared to disobey his father since he was a child. You should know that when Wang Qinghai educates his children, he really beats them with willow branches! When Wang Shixin was a child, he was disobedient, so he was tied to the big tree in front of their house, and they only stopped him after they broke three willow branches!
“Although he is successful now and has found a job in a big company in the city and can earn a lot of money every year, he is still very afraid of his father in his heart and dares not even say a word when it comes to educating his son!
"His wife is also weak, she is afraid that her father-in-law can't hold up."
Shen Qingye pondered and said, "So, Wang Qinghai might have been dissatisfied with Wang Qinghua's repeated boasting about his grandson?"
Zheng Ying said, "That's right. Wang Qinghua himself is stupid and can't read people's faces, but everyone can see it clearly. Usually, when he sees Wang Qinghua with the child, he feels uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly."
Shen Qingye took a deep breath, feeling a little confused. Was it just because of this? Just because of the so-called comparison, you kill other people's children?
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Do you know where Wang Qinghai was on Friday afternoon?"
Zheng Ying said: "Most people in the village were in the fields that day, and Wang Qinghai should have been there too."
Wang Shihe also added: "Yes, when Yingzi and I were working in the fields, we happened to see them on the side of the road."
Luo Kaiyang asked: "Did he go back during this time?"
Zheng Ying thought about it and shook his head, "Then I don't know. Everyone was so busy at that time, how could they have the extra time to care about others?"
Several people looked at each other and said, "Okay, we got it."
After both parties said goodbye, they went to other people's homes. On the way, Luo Kaiyang asked Yue Lingchuan: "Boss, could it really be Wang Qinghai who did this?"
Yue Lingchuan glanced at him and said, "The evidence is still unclear at the moment. Anything is possible."
Shen Qingye also said: "But he does have a motive for murder. At least it's a clue. We can focus more on it in the future investigation."
Luo Kaiyang sighed: "I just wonder...what's going on..."
Attacking a child out of jealousy or comparison?
Luo Kaiyang really couldn't understand.
Shen Qingye looked ahead and breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what the murderer's motive was, the fact is that the child is gone and a family is broken up.
Yue Lingchuan glanced at the two of them and said, "Alright, cheer up, there are still a few waiting behind us."
"Yes!" Luo Kaiyang rubbed his face and regained his original spirit. Shen Qingye also adjusted his mentality.
…
They then visited several more households and asked about the feud between Wang Qinghai and Wang Qinghua, and the answers they got were similar to what Zheng Ying said. It seems that the village's attitude towards Wang Qinghua is far from being as harmonious as he thinks.
They asked if anyone noticed Wang Qinghai coming back from the field on the day of the incident. Most people said they didn't notice him. Only a tall man thought for a moment and said:
"That afternoon... Wang Qinghai seemed to have gone back. I was weeding next to his field at the time, and I could see him when I looked up. For a while, I really didn't see him."
Luo Kaiyang's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly: "About when did you go back? Do you remember?"
The man scratched his head and said uncertainly, "It seems to be... around five in the afternoon? I remember that the sun was still a while away from setting."
Shen Qingye said calmly: "Then how long has he been away?"
The man smiled helplessly: "How can I remember it so clearly? It's not like I have a watch on me so I can see it anytime."
Luo Kaiyang said unwillingly: "What about the approximate time? Whether it is long or short, you should have a vague impression, right?"
"Well..." The man pondered, "I guess it shouldn't be a short time. When I saw him again, it felt like a long time had passed. At least... half an hour? Oh, I'm not sure."
Half an hour?
Shen Qingye frowned slightly and asked, "How far is that piece of land from his home?"
The man waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's not far. If you walk fast, you'll get there in five or six minutes! Look, it's just past that road!"
Everyone paused, looking somewhat suspicious.
Yue Lingchuan suddenly asked again: "Where was his grandson that afternoon?"
"In the field." The man said, "Uncle Qinghai was worried that the child would not study well if he was left at home, so he took him to the field and found a shady place, letting him read books and recite poems under his nose. Everyone knows it."
Reading in the field?
Shen Qingye did not comment on this behavior, but if this is the case... there is no one at home, so Wang Qinghai doesn't have to worry about doing anything he wants?
Several people looked at each other, and they all had some doubts in their hearts.
After bidding farewell to the man, Shen Qingye said, "So far, Wang Qinghai is indeed the most suspicious."
Yue Lingchuan also said: "The half hour he was back in the middle did give him enough time to commit the crime."
Luo Kaiyang stroked his chin and thought: "So the most important thing now is... to find out what he did in the half hour since he came back."
Shen Qingye also nodded to show his agreement.
As they were talking, they were almost at the entrance of the village. Wang Qinghua and Wang Qinghai are neighbors. Their homes are next to each other and they both live nearby.
They quickened their pace, but before they reached their destination, they heard a child crying:
"Grandpa, I was wrong! I was just careless, Grandpa. I won't do it again next time!"
"You idiot! How many times have I taught you addition and subtraction within ten? You still make mistakes? You still make mistakes! I think you just don't learn your lesson! You just have wild thoughts! I have to beat you up a few times before you can calm down and study hard!"
"Wow wow - Grandpa, I won't dare to do that again. Please stop hitting me, it hurts! Grandpa..."
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang..."
Shen Qingye paused, walked quickly forward, and walked around the bushes in front. He saw Wang Qinghai waving a thick willow branch and hitting the child with a "snap" sound. A bright red mark instantly appeared on the back of the child's white hand.
Wang Zhihuai cried until his voice became hoarse. He ran around Huang Wenqiang, trying hard to get into his arms, and kept calling him Grandpa and Uncle Huang.
Huang Wenqiang was also in a panic and tried to stop Wang Qinghai in a gentle manner. But he didn't know whether the other party had a prejudice against him. When his cold words to him to leave failed, he simply raised the willow branches and hit him too!
The scene was chaotic for a moment, and Shen Qingye frowned, looking uncomfortable. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that there was something wrong with Huang Wenqiang's actions.
He seemed to be consciously turning his body sideways, pushing the left half of his body forward and the right half moving backwards. While moving, he seemed to be quite concerned about the right side.
Shen Qingye paused. What was on the right?
Little Stone seemed to know what she was thinking, and said faintly:
"gun."
"There was a gun on his right waist."
